@GC_Strategos Also the implication that Croesus made a mistake attacking them is the opinion of a historian writing about it 100 years after the fact. It might have been the correct move and he just lost

Everyone is Croesus poasting. Croesus was the political and military inferior to Cyrus — that’s why Lydia was conquered. There wasn’t some external intervention from le gods.
Iran is the political and military inferior. Important lesson there.

The truly incredible thing about this post is that the open ended wording on the first line almost exactly echoes the famous prophesy to King Croesus that if he went to war with the Persians “a great empire will be destroyed.” Eternal recursion of Herodotus.

@Africanuts_ @DagoSupremacy You're about to find out what the "alternative" would have been (at the midterms, and for the decade to come)

Normally, I would assume that Trump is using hyperbole a la “Art of the Deal,” and maybe he is but I’m not sure who he’s even making a deal with? Also, I didn’t think he’d really attack Iran at all so my radar may be broken.
Either way, I hope this isn’t really going to happen.
Some people criticized me as not being willing to stand for anything but I didn’t want a war, didn’t think it would happen (I was wrong obviously) and now I hate that it has happened. I’ve been at least a little consistent on this.
I think a lot of Trump voters could have understood the need to sacrifice for deporting immigrants and/or to restore American industry…but this war is such a departure from “trust the plan” I don’t really know what to think…I’m growing increasingly concerned.

The Roman Republic had a rule that no living Roman would appear on coins, a custom broken by the dictators of the first century.

@DustinCanFly So far the best part for me is the sound design. Exploring the wilderness is very immersive with the excellent wildlife sound and excellent music

@KILLTOPARTY The Aldi is gross discourse is so fake. As if there’s a meaningful difference between Aldi food and Kroger/Walmart brand food

This really irritates me.
@PlayHighguard has been out for an hour and most reviews (especially negative ones) have less than 10 minutes played.
I have no stake in this game's success or failure and barely had an interest in it before today. I just can't stand how people have had a raging hatred for it since the reveal for basically no reason.
Steam has the best consumer review system of any platform, and for some reason people are abusing it just because they saw a trailer they didn't love.
Gonna check it out later tonight
